On the Flea Market, I was thinking the same thing. The stuff that was low priced was junk and the stuff that I wanted was over priced! Heck one Guy had a empty 1/2 Gal. Jack Daniels liquor bottle for $15. I can't afford to pay people to drink, lol. But the NE corner of GA is my home and I couldn't live anywhere else! Nice to have Ya, come back.
Oh so pretty !!! Its good to leave the chillun at home sometimes .....don't feel guilty , enjoy that time !!! We downsized and bought a new light weight camper about 2 years ago. We were going to do the State Parks in Alabama, however I have never spent a single night in it. It is parked at Dan's hunting club. Uh huh
Glad you had a good time exploring my old stomping grounds. I grew up kinda feral near Tallulah Falls and Lake Rabun way back before it became Mega Mansion Central aka Buckhead Boys Club. The Bridge and the Railroad Trestle abutments are located on Tallulah Falls Lake. It's the last lake in a series of 4, Burton, Nacoochee (Seed lake to locals), Rabun and Tallulah Falls. The pinstocks at the beginning of Tallulah Falls Lake actually bring water underground through the mountain from Lake Rabun that is located on the backside of the mountain separating the two lakes. There is also an underground tunnel and pinstocks that feed water from Tallulah Falls Lake to the power generating plant that sits on the floor of Tallulah Gorge. Engineering marvels in that area in the early 1900s. There are a couple more small lakes south of the Gorge, Tugalo and Yonah, they empty into Lake Hartwell and eventually become the Savannah River. The campsites on Lake Rabun, used to be managed by the US Forest Service, I think they are under some sort of public/private management set up now, or they were for awhile. It's all part of the Chattahoochee National Forest...which encompasses 2/3 of the land area in the county . So , lots of National Forest Land to hike and explore...free of charge. Incidentally, Tallulah Falls at one time was known as the Niagara Falls of the South. The TF railroad brought up the Atlanta Social Crowd. The town of Tallulah Falls sported several large hotels and lodge facilities. Until one fateful day, a spark from the train started a blaze that burned the town and all the grand hotels and lodges to the ground. Highways and cars replaced the Old TF Railroad in the 1960s. But not before Fess Parker and Mr Walt Disney came to the mountains and filmed the Great Locomotive Chase. It was a great place to grow up....feral. :)
Such awesome history! Thank you for filling us in! Do you have a campground you would recommend? We would love to come back in the warmer months so we could play in that lake!
@@PopUpLife Our favorite when we would go back to the mountains for some R&R was Tallulah Falls State Park. Granted we don't have small children anymore to keep up with and I can understand the apprehension of being on High Alert at all times when camping in some of these areas. Especially when you aren't in a familiar area with them. With that being said, we did what you guys are doing 10-12 years ago. Made the rounds of all the Georgia State Parks we could. Tallulah Falls was probably our favorite, and FDR State Park was a close runner up. I think the only state park we stayed at the I didn't care for was Unicoi. Kinda like Black Rock. Old park, Small spaces and it was a Zoo of a Holiday weekend when we went. Course, with little ones.....it'd probably be better suited for a young couple like yourselves and it is close to Helen and other points of interest for day trips. All the Parks located on the eastern side of the State - Tugaloo, Bobby Brown, Elijah Clark, Skidaway Island - we enjoyed them all. Also, check out the Corps of Engineer campgrounds, they were all on the lakes, and usually more small kid friendly. Florida has some nice campgrounds in the panhandle - our all time favorite was T.H. Stone Memorial St Joseph Peninsula State Park , Port St Joe/Cape San Blas Fl area. Hurricane Michael left it in shambles. But I hear they plan to rebuild someday. If so, definitely put it on your list. Lots of great places to make memories , meet some fantastic people , and create memories to last a lifetime!! Trav's got me craving chuck eye steak.... food tastes better out in the boonies too for some reason....... :) adventure on!!!
HI I live in Wayross . You could have purchased a Ga State Friends of Ga pass and got 10% off campground sites plus free park entrance for a year . I bought some tomato seeds from you !!
i know its great to get out in the earths natural habitat, but it takes considerable work camping. At least setting up and taking down for trip back home;;;;But its a great workout to get out and relax;;;;;;i can tell yall enjoyed the combort time;;;;;Makes me want to get out and discover the wilderness;;;;;;;I shut up and let yall enjoy;;;;;
You are right! It is some work! Wish our schedules were a little more flexible and we could stay at each campground a little longer. The joy has outweighed the work (so far :)
I think it was because they dress their campers up for Halloween and it’s like an attraction and they were worried about too much traffic. I sure do wish they would’ve let us check it out!
This looks amazing! I am planning a trip with my teenagers. My son loves fishing.
It's absolutely beautiful up there!
We agree!
That’s soooo beautiful!!’ Man I miss those days!! Luv Sherri 🌻🌻
So gorgeous! Thanks for watching!
That scenery is awesome . You can just unwind out there . Does a body good .
You are so right! We felt refreshed!

Reminds me of growing up in No. Virginia. We spent lots of time up in Page County camping and visiting relatives.
Beautiful area! Thanks for stopping by!

That Chattahootchie National Park is beautiful. Lots there. See it all as time permits. Might even get yourself a kayak Trav. 👍
I am trying to talk Travis into an inflatable kayak! Would love to come back and try that!

Hahah! Hopefully after the hunting season is over you’ll get to take her out on some camping trips!
@@PopUpLife I’m not going to hold my breath ! 😂
